Himalaya, the world's most prominent mountain system of the world is a source of sustainence for the social, cultural and economic development of population across different countries. Unscientific, small-scale mining for harnessing reounrces including minerals has caused ecosystem damage. Therefore, an integrated and holistic approach to deal with the resource management is required. This book makes a focussed effort to explain how mining in the Himalaya is practiced with discussions pertaining to critiques and lacunas of mining and environmental practices. Status of mining practices in Himalaya is included along with the legal/environmental repercussions of mining.

Download Mineral Building Traditions in the Himalayas Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
Mineral building materials and regionally related methods of processing are an essential part of building culture throughout the Himalayas. Based on transregional knowledge transfer, raw materials have been able to find an ecologically and economically optimised destiny in particular local applications. For this study, samples were collected as raw material or originated from certain building components. Samples were analysed according to their material properties and architectural application. Traditional building techniques were examined and their correlation with traceable material qualities studied. Clay-specific properties such as colour, grain size distribution, grain shape, hardness, plasticity, organic additives, or bulk and clay mineral properties were used as comparative parameters. This study gives fresh insight into the interaction between technical requirements, environmental resources and material implementation. It is the first scientific approach in studying the Himalayan earthen heritage in a wide scope and connecting material research and cultural heritage from various perspectives - in particular archaeology, architecture, research on materials and building techniques.

Download Himalayas Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
In this book "Himalayas: A few Rocks and Minerals study" the main objective is to study physical and optical properties of Rocks and minerals in Greater Himalayas. The physical properties which are easily recognized or determined and are important in the rapid determination of minerals are lusture, colour, streak, hardness, cleavage, parting, fracture, tenacity, taste, odour, feel and touch, specific gravity, magnetism, luminescence electric properties etc. are discussed in detail with figures and structures. In order to study the general properties of Rocks and Minerals relatively simple methods have been devised for easy and rapid determination of some of the most important optical constants of solids. These methods are especially adapted to the determination of some of the optical properties of the substances that are available as crystals, in thin sections or in limited quantities as small fragments or powders. The main focus is to explain mineralogy of unknown particles in thin section. In the last section the future of the Himalayas are also discussed.Keywords: Himalayas, Mineralogy, Rocks
